On this episode of the Blind Tiger Record Club
Podcast, David W. Williams is joined by Kevin Lee and Jonathan
Hibma to present the first ever B.T.R.C. Podcast Special
Event: The Top 10 Halloween Songs of All Time.
On this show, we will discuss songs by Stevie
Wonder, The Doors, Michael Jackson, Warren Zevon, Blue Oyster Cult,
Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Ray Parker Jr, AC/DC,
Rockwell, and Bobby "Boris" Pickett &
the Crypt Kickers. The songs are discussed and clips
of songs are played. We talk about charts, both at the time
of the song's original release and any "re-entry" into
Billboard's Hot
100 every Halloween. We discuss TV
and Film syncs, and the many cultural impacts that all the songs
have had which is why they are on our G.O.A.T. list.
We also present other important Halloween songs that are TV Themes,
big film songs, or other culturally important songs as our
transitions between each song on our Top 10 list. This allows
the panel to discuss ten more songs that include Halloween defining
songs such as the themes of John
Carpenter's Halloween, Tales from the
Crypt, The Twilight Zone, Addams
Family, and Stranger
Things. We also discuss other
soundtrack and Halloween songs like Danny Elfman's
"This Is Halloween" from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before
Christmas and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds'
"Red Right Hand" made famous by
the Scream franchise. Andrew
Gold's internet sensation "Spooky Scary
Skeletons" and the genre
bending song by the godfathers of "Horror Punk",
the Misfits' "Halloween". We also
discuss a second song from the Stranger
Things franchise that utilizes an amazing sampling
of Journey's "Separate Ways".
It's a really fun way to celebrate a lot of the incredible music
surrounding Halloween.
Whether or not you are a member of Blind Tiger Record
Club, the B.T.R.C. Podcast is a great way to get
introduced to some new artists and discover some albums that you
may not be familiar with. All the music in our subscription
program and that we discuss on this show are on vinyl and have been
released or reissued in the last 30 - 60 days. The show is
designed to be a discovery platform for new music "on vinyl", but
even if you do not collect or listen to vinyl, it's still a fun way
to explore new music.
